OLED HDTVs might finally be practical: LG plans to introduce the “world’s largest” OLED HDTV that the company says can easily outpace any LCD panel while remaining affordable. The screen comes in at 55 inches and is only 5 mm thin. Unlike LCDs, OLEDs don't require a backlight (since they produce their own light), which is what allows this new TV to be so thin.

It's the world's highest resolution LCD screen, and it could be in Japanese homes in 2020. The 85-inch screen, developed by Sharp, is for Super Hi-Vision, a next-generation broadcasting technology that packs 16 times the resolution of today's high-definition TV.

Our guide will take you from step one (setting up your screening room) all the way to the end (choosing what to watch).

Wander the television aisles at any consumer electronics store, and you'll see far more LCD sets than plasma sets. While the TV industry has pretty much standardized on LCD displays, which have a brighter picture and use less energy than plasmas, that doesn't mean that plasma is suddenly unpopular among its fans.
